While the Pittsburgh Steelers have Aaron Rodgers for the 2025 season, Ben Roethlisberger isn't very confident that the team's new starting quarterback will be sticking around after that. Rodgers becomes the Steelers' sixth starting quarterback since Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season.

“He’s still throwing the (expletive) out of the ball, honestly,” the coach said to Fowler. “He’s the best quarterback they’ve had since (Ben Roethlisberger). We will see how the body holds up, but I think he’s going to help them immensely.”

NFL coaches who watched Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, including some New York coaches, think the Steelers got a "steal" by signing him.
